Yep, I read that review while looking. Uber-geeky, but it helped me choose.

It’s a super watch, for very little cash. And, looks smart enough for a suit, yet scruffy enough to be worn with a pair of boardies, Reefs, Oakleys and a glass of rum on the beach! Hard to find something like that, IMO, and am very, very pleased with it.

For similar money I’d be looking at a Precista or Smiths from Timefactors.

But they are not very nice looking TBH …

That’s what I thought. Not sure if CFH’s watch is flash enough to double as a pub talking point tbh. But then again, with 2 kids I need something I can accidentally slop my 2nd and final pint over, can be bashed with Ben 10’s weapons arsenal and withstand baby puke, as well as gt85 muc off and Herefordshire mud.

It’s growing on me a lot. I keep seeing really good reviews. Not so good on the TW steel watches though – the cheaper ones have cheap innards and the general “quality” isn’t as high as those Seikos. One chaps had the predecessor for 22yrs!

Nah – I wanted an auto & a bit of research seems to show that the Seikos will run for 3 or 4 days without touching them & more if you give ’em a bit of a shake when you take it off. At the end of the day, this was always going to be my ‘everyday’ watch.

I’m lucky if my TAG gives 36 hours.

Edit: Yorkshire Watches have a pretty wide selection if you want to find a non-auto.

My TW Steel watch just arrived today – wedding present – it is big but I like it and I definitely won’t be wearing it around the ‘bike’ – the wife to be would lynch me!
I do like the other watches above though 🙂

I have one, its great. 45mm is large, but there are plenty of 50mm + watches available. Sadly im ‘blessed’ with girls wrists and tbh the 45mm looks a bit big on my wrist, but i love big watches so i bought it 🙂 If I had the money it would be U-Boat for me
